THE TEXAS CATTLE TRAIL.
The Secretary of the Interior, upon
consideration of a request presented
by cattle owners in Texas for the eS-
adjustment of a new cattle trail
through the Chickasaw Territory, has
decided that there's no law which EN-
powers the Interior Department to
make appropriations of such portion
of the land of the Chickasaw Nation as
would be required for the establish
ment of such trail. Cattle owners in
Texas have complained to the Secretary
of the Interior against the action OF the
Chickasaw Nation in the Indian Ter
ritory in laying tax of Is cents per
head on all cattle passing through the
Territory en- route northward to market
or pasture, and have inquired whether
there exists any means whereby
they may be relieved from payment
thereof. The Government of the
Chickasaw Nation has informed the In
terror Department that the law COM
planned of was enacted by the Chickasaw
Nation at a council in order to break
up the practice of cattlemen whose
habit, he says, is to ship large herds
by rail to Colbert Station, on the Mis-
souri, Pacific, in the southwest corner
of the Chickasaw Country, and
range them diagonally through
mer in the transit, inflicting great
loss on the Chickasaw Nation, not only
by consuming the best grass but also
by introducing diseases, and by absorb
ing and driving off the small herds. He
disclaims any wish on the part of the
Chickasaws to regulate or interfere
with commerce, but says, 1--WE are
simply regulating the price of our
grass, which is valuable prop
RI TQNQS
ures from ten to twenty-five cents per
MONTH" That there is no objection
or hindrances by tax or otherwise to
the driving of cattle on the regularly
established cattle trail in the western
part of their domain where there is
highway to all genuine drivers of
through herds, that he fails to see
where the constitution gives a right to
intruders to saunter along their coun-
try roads and Craze their cattle on the
adjacent fields. The Secretary of the
Interior. in his decision in the case
says, if the country roads to which the
Governor of the Chickasaw Nation
refers are public ways through the
Territory, this Department cannot rec
OgniZe any objection or countenance
any interference on the part of the
Chickasaws with the free and uninter-
rupted passage of the infectious cattle
thereon, so as said cattle are reported
within the prescribed OF organized
limits of said public highways. If
however, on the other hand such cattle
are permitted to wander outside of the
proper limits Of the established cattle
trails and public highways, and are al
lowed to trespass upon the grazing or
other lands of the Chickasaws, and
complaint of such trespass is made by
the Chickasaws to the proper officers of
the department, it will be bound to
take action as in its Judgment will fill
the guarantee contained in the treaties
with those Indians and enforce the
law against trespassers and intruders

celled twenty-eight presumption entries
and held for cancellation twenty-nine
others in the Oberlin. Kansas, land
district, upon evidence taken at a
